A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant.
I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester.

Spending the day honoring Dr. King and his profound wisdom. #MLKDay
Today I honor Martin Luther King’s eloquence, wisdom and bravery. I see you Dr. King — your fire will never diminish. Your light will never ever be put out.
Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, and said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”
Cecile Richards was a tireless advocate for reproductive justice, fighting not just for women’s access to healthcare, but for their dignity, autonomy, and equality.

I am not saying things are going to be fine.
I am saying, find a thing to do that will put a little more hope in the world, however small.

Assume the unexpected and anticipate the unimaginable. #2025 is ours to create but it will require working together in new ways and holding tight to our core values (which will prove harder than we would like). A great moment to #InventTheFuture

Quote: “Women’s history is the primary tool for women’s emancipation.” - Gerda Lerner
Surprising and yet not - how little we know of the brave, strong and smart women who came before. Let's hope we break the reinvent the wheel cycle and move to a more inclusive (anti-racist) approach to equality. This is a solid read. celestemdavis.substack.com/p/women-tell...
The most impactful piece I’ve done (so far as I know) is this one for VICE, on how medical schools make students “practice” pelvic exams on unconscious patients without their knowledge or consent. www.vice.com/en/article/m...

I've struggled with vertigo for over a decade. I think I stumbled into the root cause this week... B12 (!). Why in the name of all that is holy has this NEVER come up. Fingers crossed. 💃
